The Society of Architectural Historians has recognised ‘We Love We Self Up Here’ for “the most distinguished work of film on the history of the built environment”. From the judges’ citation: “‘We Love Self Up Here’ reflects the seismic shifts going on in architectural scholarship today. The contemplative film demonstrates the potential of architectural history to address complex issues of race, globalization, work, class, migration, and community. Buoyed by a musical score attuned to silences and light, the film invites viewers to listen, probe, and linger. It builds on an improvisational cinéma vérité tradition that effectively rejects conventional documentary clichés.”
